No I'm using the mathematical definition of a function. ML is not Math nor is it purely functional. All functional languages need to bend the rules a bit in order to have side effects but in general the person is not writing functions

Ok. No. There's a lot of confusion with semantics. Following the most used definition of OOP as defined by JAVA, C++ and C#: Classes are in no way functions in the FP sense because classes mutate state. Classes are in no way functions

The thing with reading is that the main point is often buried beneath realms of text. A movie can deliver the same concept in two hours when a book typically takes several days. Another thing with reading is that there's no logical rea

Good point. Additionally, complexity also scales. A dictatorship relies more on the common sense of the dictator while a democracy relies on a set of written laws that grows with complexity over time. A single party does not need a contract

The problem is there's no definitive evidence that proves this yet.

Discuss away. It's just that posts like these tend to actually completely assassinate the character and all discussions related to it. I'm just putting this here to temper the sentiment before it gets carried away. I am in no way

I think because HN's audience is mostly US based there's a high level of bias towards democratic governments. I think if we all take a look at it from a unbiased angle it's all really apples and oranges. A bad dictator is not

Don't think that the democratic process guarantees a good hand off... it's still a crap shoot and a lucky draw. See current President Camacho of the United States. Unlike a dictator, the aggregate will of the people never serves t
